(Before you think I'm a jerk with the following, know this....I have my son 75% of the time, she 25%....)
I told my ex, a while back, to stop calling me about every little thing having to do with our son all day long. I'm trying to work...pleae, type it in an email..... I cant have my boss saying, "Why was the line busy?" and I'm answering, "Well...my ex wants to take our son to a dinner party in 3 weeks and wants to know if the blue turtleneck is at my house....." or "Well, my ex called to say that CJ said something cute to her on the phone when he called her from my house...."
Today?
Today I told her forget email, go back to calling.
Her grasp of the written word is tenuous at best, and her email etiquette is non-existent. She'll send an email that is an answer to a question thats in her head, that she thought of asking you, never got around to, and created your answer for you, so she feels your imagined answer deserves a real-life response. and she'll just send and email that says, "Forget New Years, it doesnt look good. So Chirstmas will be mine."
And I have to write her back and ask, "What the hell are you saying?" and then it takes 8 emails back and forth because she lacks the ability to form a complete sentence that says, "Looks like I'll be working New Years Eve, so he will be with you, so I would like to keep him Christmas night to make up for it."
And to think, I not only married that woman, I loved her once.
Once.

Hey wait a minute. You used to go to Shock Therapy? I used to go-go dance there. Back in the day when the "goth" scene was still fun. I bet I know you/recognize you/something or another.
